2. And —omitted in the two oldest manuscripts, Vulgate, Syriac. I was, c.— Greek, "I became in the Spirit" (see on :- ): I was completely rapt in vision into the heavenly world. was set —not was placed, but was situated, literally, "lay." one sat on the throne —the Eternal Father: the Creator ( :- ): also compare Revelation 4:8 Revelation 1:4 , where also the Father is designated, "which is, and was, and is to come." When the Son, "the Lamb," is introduced, Revelation 1:4- : , a new song is sung which distinguishes the Sitter on the throne from the Lamb, " Thou hast redeemed us to God, " and Revelation 1:4- : , "Unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." So also in Revelation 5:7 , as in Daniel 7:13 , the Son of man brought before the Ancient of days is distinguished from Him. The Father in essence is invisible, but in Scripture at times is represented as assuming a visible form. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
